Our Daily Grace: We Already Are

 "You are not to strive. You are to be. That's the good news.  You already are."

Dan Stone

"God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who He is, and we know who we are: Father and children."

Romans 8:16

God is at home in you.  He isn't struggling with you, so you don't have to struggle with yourself.  He is so proud of you, His child.  You are already beautiful.  You are already embraced. You are already accepted.  You are already with God.  You are already His beloved one.  You are already right where you are meant to be.  The Spirit isn't pressuring us to become or to strive to be something better.  The Spirit is simply reminding us that we already ARE pleasing to God and close to God.

A thought: I am not trying to become; I can simply BE who I am - God's good and beloved child.

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
